In order to clarify the change trend of yield and quality of soybean varieties released during different stag-es, the evolution of agronomic and quality traits of 368 soybean cultivars released during 1923-2015 in Jilin Prov-ince were analyzed. The results showed that the number of soybean cultivars released during 92 years gradually in-creased as time went on, the number of soybean cultivars released since 2000 has been up to 238. In the process ofbreeding improvement, yield, 100-seed weight and oil content showed an increasing trend by 0.92%, 0.07% and0.03% per year,respectively. Protein content, total content of protein and oil, and growth period are on the declineby 0.04%, 0.05% and 0.02% per year, respectively. The average yield of variety regional test increased from 1 743.1kg/ha in the early 1923 to 2 951.7 kg/ha in 2015. Among the varieties, oil content of 69 cultivars ≥22%, protein con-tent of 23 cultivars ≥44%, and 37 were special type cultivars. Learning the breeding experiences of these cultivars,analyzing their agronomic traits would provide us good references and guidelines.
